Wasn't sure where exactly to post but please move to the correct sub forum.
I need an app that does what the subject title does. Its not a necessity but more of a gimmick. I want the screen to remain on when an app is running in the background and I've tried and tested various apps from the play store and none of them are working the same with my old nexus 5.
When I begin playing a playlist from Spotify I dock it in my car cradle and then put it to sleep mode, the music is still playing and when I push the sleep button on again, it comes up with a cover art which looks pritty cool in my car.
I've downloaded several apps and when I assign the 'screen on function' to Spotify it stays on fine when loading up the app but when I get the phone to go into sleep mode (with the app still in the background) the screen doesn't stay on. The apps do what they are supposed to do when keeping the screen on when Spotify is loaded but its the sleep mode I'm stuggling to get it to work properly.
Any ideas which App can do this? I've crawled through google play store and none of them are doing what I need them to do.
Thanks
exactly what you want:

Thats working, will test later but thanks for responding. Been looking for an app for a long time. Cheers.

Just downloaded and tried '3' Music Player and it's very very good... Definately worth checking out...
Search for RockOn in the market and it's the app with a small "3"
Yeah I tried it. its pretty cool just needs alittle bit more tuning.
It stops playing for me when the screen turns off. Anyone else having this issue?
Looks sick, and hella smooth though

Not having that problem myself!
From what I've read theres a lot more to come from the dev on this one...
Yep! ³ has definitely replaced my default music app. I can't wait to see what he adds to it next.
Whoa! Crazy concept that one is.
Would be great if you had the option to have song/album/artist lists instead of JUST an album cube...
Best music app for Android I've seen.
One annoying feature, if you enable the headphone controls, it starts the player whenever you push the button (i.e. skipping a song in Pandora launches RockOn3 and they play simultaneously). Would be great if there was a playlist by folder creation function as well.
i got a problem with dis player it get freezed i dono y.... pls help me....
I just tried this out and it certainly contains the eye candy I love while still mainting usability. If I go past the Z however, it spins the opposite direction without stopping. I have to go to view mode then back to the three to stop it.
I love the automatic album art downloader too. Does it save the art to the actual mp3 file or to the app itself?
Crazy concept. I like it!
For some reason, I can't find it in the market. Is it still there?
so search Rockon and you will find it

Yep, search for rockon and it's the third one down if i remember correctly. unfortunately the "3" is "³" as in cubed. Not sure why they chose such a hard to search for name...
I hate to say it but I've moved back to the stock music player. I can't stand how this player functions and it is painfully slow.
Is it possible to keep YouTube playing in the background while I another stuff? I was listening to an audio podcast on YouTube and decided to send an sms as soon as I press back or the long press home button to change apps, the audio ceases..
Is this a bug or is there some workaround?
Thanks
anyone?

I believe this behavior of the app is by design. It stops playback when it's not in the foreground.
Not sure you can do anything about it.
At least the new app doesn't stop playback when you press power button

how is it that iOS even has a tweak to keep stock youtube app running in the background and Android doesn't!?!
Because someone that wrote YouTube for Android decided that he doesn't want this app to run in the background, and doesn't want to give the option for that either.
What to do? Use the unofficial apps, I guess. They work.
works on my nook and Optimus

Try this App: Youtube Keep Alive
You can find it at Google Play.
It looks like some kind of RSS feed icon, it shows up when I put the video in landscape then won't go away. How do I remove/disable this?

I think that might be the chromecast icon but I'm not sure. Check if u have a connected tv under settings

I dont
I take it that this hasn't been "solved" yet? It is annoying.
Same problem here.
Galaxy Note2, suddenly I started seeing chrome cast icon on my YouTube videos.
Its was working just fne this morning. I dont have chrome cast device.
Any luck removing this thing.
This happens to me when I'm connected to my car through bluetooth. There has to be a TV or some other bluetooth device close by. When I turn bluetooth on then launch youtube the icon isnt there. But if I turn bluetooth off after I launch youtube the icon will not go away.
Open the app manager from the phone settings menu, find YouTube under the all tab and clear the default, cache, data, and force close. That did it for me. Also, if you do use cast or bluetooth, try to disconnect from the receiver when you're done. Not sure why it hangs like that.

I had this problem and looked around. The play store reviews mention it quite a bit, and I found a google circles comment saying they were aware of the problem. My only solution: download and install a prior version. I found the 5.1.10 apk for download by searching around.
I also went to play store and the youtube app and disabled automatic updating. I'll probably update it in a month or so and see if they've fixed it, yet, but still have the .apk of the older version on hand.
I noticed this awhile ago, but its starting to get on my nerves now.
Whenever I am playing music, either via the google music app or Pandora, the lock screen display will not update what song is currently playing. For example, if I was listening to "Sublime - KRS One" and that song ended .. then "Third Eye Blind - Never Let you go" started playing... my lock screen would still say "Sublime - KRS One" with that album art. At first I thought my mp3 tags were messed up, but when I unlock the screen, the correct song is displayed.
Anyone else have this issue? I am sure that other types of lockscreen notifications behave the same way, but this was the most apparent to me
The music program needs to be in the foreground. I have that issue with the Bluetooth in my car, too.
Thanks.. I don't recall this being an issue in past devices. I also have issues with Tasker not updating my location until I unlock the screen, @SirBindy do you think this is the same issue? Do you happen to know a workaround/fix to this?
The only thing I've been able to do is just make sure my music app is running in the foreground. If it's in the background or in the notification shade... it works for a while, but then stops sending new meta data.
I had the issue on my Note 3 as well.
Hey
I have huge problem with MIUI. Phone is closing apps that are working in foreground, just as I'm using them. For example sometimes it just closes the chrome or game I'm playing. It looks like phone has very brute ram Management. Sometimes it happens when someone send me message on messenger. Also I have noticed that when I'm driving and I have turned on navigation and music in split screen, it just ends navigation, and stops playing music, turns off screen and after unlocking I have split screen of apps just like they would be just started - in main screens, with empty playlist and just gps position. It's really annoying and quite dangerous when it happens while I'm driving.
I have also found that in apps manager even after locking app and allowing it to autostart, it just stops playing music as soon as I hit x(clean) button. In list of exceptions I can't add any app, so it would skip cleaning it from ram and running.
